If you’re in the U.S. you’ve probably seen them in grocery store parking lots. They typically are like a trailer hitch with a bunch of solar panels on it, and then a pole, and a multi-directional camera on the very top of the pole, with a blinking light. I’m colorblind, but I think the light is blue.

They claim to be for the security of the business, but what they do is to monitor all license plates and all cars that come into a given area(and they can identify the same car even if the license plate is changed).

And I wouldn’t have so much of a problem with that if individual businesses wanted to have closed-circuit video for their parking lot, but these things are networked nationwide, so this company can track the exact location of your car nationwide, each and every time one of your cars drives by these things.

The operation of these things should be a felony, and it makes sense that people are destroying them now. I completely understand why.
